2020 Map of Palisades Peak

About this map

The Snake River Range dominates this corner of the High Rockies, where the border between Idaho and Wyoming cuts through the heart of the Targhee National Forest and Teton National Forest. Rising to prominent heights at Palisades Peak and Starvation Peak, the landscape is a complex of deep drainages such as Ice Cove Canyon and Lorian Canyon. The map reveals a high-altitude network of resource management and historic movement, indicated by the Sheep Driveway and scattered backcountry landmarks like Hunts Corral, Mikesell, and Sheep Camp. Water is the primary sculptor of this terrain, with the N Fork Palisades Creek and Waterfall Creek feeding into the larger system. This 2020 record captures a wilderness shaped by both natural features like Upper Lake and the administrative footprints of the Bonneville and Teton County line.
